Graham, can't be of much help here other than to say there have been problems 
with Braille displays throughout the PM range.  Which build are you running?  
Th sign-chord followed by a will give you that info. The warm re-set command, 
by the way is and sign-chord.  Does anyone have the joining instructions for 
the PM list to hand?  I'm only on it at work.

Cheers now.

Ian

  Hi Graham,

  You mean you are not getting any Braille out at all?  Do you have an
  integrated Braille display, or one of the Focus ones?  If the integrated
  one, make sure it is fully pushed home or connected.  Other than that, I am
  not sure.  Have you tried a warm reset?  Control-Alt-Delete?  Or in the BX
  case, I believe it is all six dots with space bar.

  All the best

  Hi Steve!

  So what could be causing the Braille display to be blank during normal
  operation then?  Cheers!

  Hi Graham,

  As Ian said, I don't think you can turn Braille off at all.  As for Grade 2,
  go to Settings, which I think on the BX, is SH chord S, enter on Braille
  settings, and the first option is Grade 2 Checked.  Uncheck this and you
  turn it off.  Not a toggle, but you can do it.  Note though that this only
  applies to untranslated files.  Obviously, if you have a Grade 2 ready file,
  you can't turn off Grade 2, you would have to back translate it.

  All the best
